Thats not ALL the coilovers available for these....

http://i289.photobucket.com/albums/l...erjmb/R5-1.jpg

They come in 3 levels for the Balt's
S1- has:
Scaled suspension system for easier installation.
Full length adjustment system on lower mount
Separate ride height and spring pre-load adjustments
Aluminum alloy construction: lower mount, top mount, spring seat and locks
Forged aluminum top mount


R1- Scaled suspension system for easier installation.
Full length adjustment system on lower mount
Separate ride high and pre-load adjustments
Aluminum alloy construction: lower mount, top mount, spring seat and locks
Multi-positional manual damping force adjustment
Forged aluminum top mount

R3-Scaled suspension system for easier installation.
Full length adjustment system on lower mount
Separate ride height and pre-load adjustments
Aluminum alloy construction: lower mount, top mount, spring seat and locks
Multi-positional manual damping force adjustment
Front top mount includes an adjustable camber plate**
Front suspension is mounted on a pillow ball
Forged aluminum top mount




Thier "scaled" sleeves look like this, so you do not need a tape measure to adjust.....

They also can do custom spring rates to meet your needs.

If there is some decent interest shown here, I can look into doing a group buy.

forgot.....mmmmmm, pillowball mounts.

I will try to get some info for the 09 ss/tc's as I know there are problems with some companies on those.

Prices are in the $1100-$1500 range depending on which level.

There's no problems with cheap coilovers on an SS/TC.

AHH....I did not know what the problem is.....I don think these would then, but I will try to verify that from someone who has them installed on that particular application.

Rodimus_Prime 03-10-2009 01:59 AM

Your also missing the BC coilovers and the new Stance ones, those are my two leading choices right now

Maven 03-10-2009 06:40 PM

Ill be sticking with springs and SS/TC dampers until I can afford some Motons or Koni 28's.

Rodimus_Prime 03-12-2009 12:42 AM

Forgot about the ARK and Megan Racing ones too

stenguyen1 03-20-2009 09:54 AM

where can you buy the best for the money coilovers at? and which ones are the best ones to get?

Maven 03-20-2009 03:33 PM

Depends on what you want and how much you want to spend, I am looking forward to getting to see the Stance ones and another company bringing a set to market soon.....its got linked damping but from what Ive seen from them so far they know how to do that better than the other companies product Ive seen/ridden on/installed. As of right now....I cant recommend any of the current product unless you can find Ksports for like $750 still.

stenguyen1 03-20-2009 04:06 PM

yea i found ksports for 760 shipped actually. ksport kontrol are good?

Really? you think so? Could you explain what makes them so win as compared to the other ones that are almost exactly the same? And how you came to this decision since theyve been trying to get the setup right for weeks on end and still havent actually sold any production units to my knowledge.....

Listerman 04-08-2009 07:48 AM

Maven you seem to rep KSport Kontrols as a $700-1000 coilover over anything. Would you mind elaborating on why someone should buy KSports for $750-800 when Megan's run around $830-870?

Maven 04-08-2009 09:11 AM

I dont rep Ksports for around a grand....only under $800, LOL. If you can get megans for $830 shipped Id say thats a decent deal too......Ive just never seen them under $900 shipped(I dont look either)

Listerman 04-08-2009 09:17 AM

Understandable, I guess those are the only options for under 1k.

I did get a hold of a brand new set of Megan's for $830 and read some bad reviews on KSports from other make/model owners.

rtullos808 05-07-2009 10:12 AM

Which is the best? What do most Cobalt owners prefer. Please give me some detailed pros/cons. I have Koni's. The springs appear to be stock. It's a very stiff ride for obvious reasons, but it would be nice to have the adjustable ones like Tokico makes. Let's say you gotta take Granny to dialysis but you dont want the Cobalt to give her a heart attack. Can you adjust them to be really soft like Granny's old Bonneville? My exhaust is already echoing off the side of her house and I barely hit the gas. Enough to make her think I punched it or it makes her jump. She actually said, "could you turn it down?" LMAO! To myself. God bless her.

09turbo 05-10-2009 09:50 PM

^^^X2 what is the best bag for your buck in coilovers? i would like springs but i love the adjustability of coilovers...

SlowBalt_06 05-10-2009 09:52 PM

i have the ksport pro's i love them the ride is great easy to install..i paid 750 shipped new...

09turbo 05-10-2009 09:54 PM

where did you buy them from? do you have any pics? any details? i am new to coilovers
sorry for all the Qs lol

SlowBalt_06 05-10-2009 09:58 PM

check my gallary for pics..i have them set to as high as they would go..which isnt really that high lower the stock height.....never enough auto they had a gb a few weeks ago but if you email them tthey maybe able to help you out....i have the coilovers set to the hardest setting and the ride isnt bad at all considering i was riding on blown struts for a year...but going to coilovers i'll never lower a car on springs again

09turbo 05-10-2009 10:00 PM

thats good to know. and who do i PM about those? i would like to see about that. i was thinking springs, but i dont wanna worry about the factory stuff. so i feel coiloevers might be good for me.
